VISITING THE DOCTOR, NERVE PAIN

Hey! I had my check up yesterday I got to keep my blood test results, I'm so getting better. While I'm not perfect yet my levels are getting there, my lungs are clear and the high blood pressure? Gone, it's normal now. YAY! My A1C is lower, my glucose is lower, my cholesterol is lower, I'm happy and getting well. When the doc asked me how I was [why do they do that? I don't go there because I'm healthy for gooness sake]I was able to smile broadly and sure her I felt great! I'm known among the people I see regularly as a Sunny, happy person.... This from someone who use to be sick all the time, depressed so bad I could hardly stop crying, for decades. I have to credit CellPower™ more than anything else. sure dieting and exercising gave me a good start but my vigorous healthy, more energetic, happier self started with the CellPower™.

In addition I also take ~4 essential minerals for diabetics~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.~ZINC especially to help you heal.and Conjugated Linoleic Acid* to counteract the effects of alloxan I might get by accident, I don't eat bread much less white flour but you never know.see:alloxan causes diabetes

I am experiencing nerve pain even with my diabetes under strict control. Of course the medicos want you to take medications for it,

"Anti-seizure drugs often are used to help control the type of pain caused by damaged nerves.Anti-seizure (anticonvulsant) medications were developed primarily to reduce or control epileptic seizures. But they can also help control the burning, stabbing or shooting pain sometimes caused by nerve damage. These drugs seem to work by slowing or blocking pain signals from damaged nerves.Why does it hurt?Nerves can be damaged by many things, including injury, surgery, disease or exposure to toxins. For example, some people with diabetes develop numbness and pain (peripheral neuropathy) in their hands and feet. People who have shingles often continue to have pain (postherpetic neuralgia) after the shingles have cleared up.This pain occurs because the damaged nerves are firing inappropriately and sending pain signals even though no tissue has been harmed. This type of pain can be debilitating and is often difficult to control."

Personally,I've had these pains for much longer than I've had diabetes.

"~Controlling your blood sugar levels can help prevent worsening nerve pain and improve your overall health at the same time. ~Medications can help relieve nerve pain, make you more comfortable, and improve your quality of life."We know that better glucose control is the single most important factor" in preventing neuropathy, slowing its progress once you have it, and relieving many symptoms, says Christopher Gibbons, MD, director of the Neuropathy Clinic at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston and instructor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.If you have diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, talk to your doctor about ways to better control your blood sugar. You may need to take insulin for better control, says Gibbons.Once you are doing all that you can to keep blood sugar levels under control - including diet, meal planning, exercise, and medication - you should assess with your doctor which pain medication is best to relieve your remaining symptoms."

Since I refuse to take drugs what to do, what to do? The diabetic socks I have are too long, [I have very short toes, so if the socks fit they are too long]and they curl under my toes and HURT!

background

I had a massive stroke at age twenty due, the doctor said, to using Birth control pills. I realized then I had to take control of my health as the Doctor who prescribed those pills told me it was the "safe one". I suffer from muscle spasming from that, But I am not letting any of it keep me down, I am coping, even conquering!
